Frank at Discstalker bent my ear about the Blizzard plastic. I have to say, I am impressed. I bought a 149g Boss and threw it a few times out at Deerlick into some pretty serious headwind on 8 and 16, it's legit. It turned a little and came back true as can be. It is definitely less stable than it's heavyweight kin, but not crazy understable. I can definitely see some saving some wear and tear on the arm if I ever get to play regularly again.

A bit of a warning though. Since there is so much variation in the disbursement of bubbles throughout the disc you can have small difference in flight patterns. Also I noticed that the early runs have most of the bubbles in the flight plate and later runs had more bubbles in the rim. This is due to an issue with the bubbles close to the surface beginning to wear thin and eventually pop exposing the crater. This will cause the surface to be very rough. More of an issue with the bubbles on the flight plate rather than the rim.

in general terms. They can already make smaller rim discs in lighter weight since there is less plastic. The reason this works well for faster drivers is because most golfers, 80% or so, cant throw fast enough to have speed 12-13 discs fly on their designed flight pattern...and you old guys? I have one of these in my bag!!

"Blizzard discs without bubbles in the rim will fly "truer" to their heavier counterparts. Innova wants the bubbles in the flight plate. I believe they want to add a coating to the bubble infused flight plate to protect it. They want to take MVP's dual polymer disc idea and innovate it into the blizzard, mainly to protect the thin surface the bubbles create."

Luckily I took my latest winnings and and grabbed one of each. 138 Wraith 150 Katana 159 Destroyer 156 Boss. Two or three years ago I would have passed b/c you need good form to throw these. Today I can say my form is fine and I love how far these go w/ little effort.

My most positive experience with them is the 138 wraith at stand still. Get stuck in the woods w/ no run up? No worries, throw 350+ at a stand still. Totally sick get out of trouble stand still max d driver...

That's what Innova is marketing the Mamba as ... a stand still Max D driver

Blizzard plastic....it's not just for old guys and weenie arms! Dave Wiggins Jr threw a couple into orbit. The official world Distance record will be broken this year with Blizzard Plastic, and I'm guessing it wont be by a weenie arm!

I took all the fast drivers out of my bag at the beginning of the year, but if I can get a few more hours of practice with the Blizzard Boss it will be in the bag forever.I threw it some at Perkerson before the tournament Sunday. I really liked starting my warm up with a lighter disc, and the distance it produces is just silly. I've been embracing lighter plastic on my overstable discs for a while now with very good results. I carry 4 Firebirds under 170g. My 160g Glow FB is more stable than my 175g Glow FBs.

I have been throwing lighter stuff (167 +/-) for drivers for a long time. My fairway drivers, mids, and putters are all max weight. All of the lightweight (150ish) fast drivers I have tried were or became real squirrelly over time.
